BF130 - 30Amp Circuit Breaker

BF130 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

The BF130 circuit breaker is a 30-amp, single-pole, bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in 120VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on the BLF frame platform, this breaker is rated for 10kA A.I.C. at 120VAC, making it suitable for branch circuit protection in residential, commercial, and light industrial panelboards. With its HACR rating and 40°C calibration, the BF130 is engineered to provide consistent thermal-magnetic trip performance under standard operating conditions. Designed for proper form, fit, and function in compatible equipment, this breaker helps maintain the integrity and safety of existing electrical systems while delivering the durability professionals expect from molded case circuit protection devices.
